Are my spores messed up?
    #16838582 - 09/12/12 11:09 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

This is my first time ever getting spores. I got 2 of the random syringes from _____________, and they hooked me up with a third for free, as well as alcohol pads and a glass slide with case, after mentioning I was a member here.

So I got em, and each has a black chunk in it. Are they messed up, from heat in shipping maybe?





I have them in the fridge right now, that is what i'm supposed to do, right?

My grow kit wont be here for another few days.

Ended up with PF Classic, Treasure Coast, and Hualta, btw.

Note the phrase "spore suspension", if you shake the syringe up to evenly distribute the spores, then set it on a counter top for a while, the spores will settle against the lowest surface.  This is because the spores are suspended in water, rather than creating a solution with the water.

Word, true that on the suspension, it makes sense. I guess I just saw it and automatically thought mold.

Any advice on how to get the spores out of the little blue tips? shaking isnt making a difference there.

And on which one to do first?

And i know, on the kit, but I can't leave the house, so I have to buy everything on the internet. It was all in one place, and within my estimate price for piecing it together individually. And I don't have a double boiler, so premixed sterile jars sounded great. And they're better medium than I could afford to put together right now, BRF, worm casings, bee pollen, and perlite.

Plus, Iwas handed $150 by the guy i'm splitting things with(50/50, and i put in 20 bucks and have to grow it, and its something i've wanted to try for years. a win in my book), and told to buy a kit and spores within 24hrs. I know nothing about this beyond what i've read on here over the past few years. I grow buds, I know that with my eyes closed, and poppies too, i'm a horticulture major, but fungus is a whole new spectrum of growing for me.

I'm guessing you got your kit from Midwest Growkits.  Their kits are junk, I know from personal experience.  Also, bee pollen is anti-fungal.  The jars will work, just letting you know for future reference.

All you can do to get the spores out of the little blue tips is to squirt them out.  Your first inoculation with each syringe will end up with a heavy spore load is all.  As for which one to do first, cubes are cubes, there's not much variation between yield and potency, with the exception of Penis envy, which is a domesticated mutant.  Since your doing jars, you could do a few of each to see which ones you'll like the most.

Cali GrowKits

Ill probably do like i did with my hydro setup, modify it as I go along to make it better. I like building stuff. My hydro started out as an aerogarden, which is like the bane of all pot growing as far as the people on my forum are concerned, but i've heavily modified it, and built my own lights, and now i'm pumping out growth like 5gallon ~800w HPS/MH setups, except im using 650 watts of CFLs and a gallon tank. Not that that matters here, but jst saying, it gives me something to build off of, i had no idea where to start with this kinda setup.

And so the bee pollen is going to be detrimental to the growth?

And whats up with the penis envy, since you mentioned it? Is it better, or does it just look like dicks?

Oh. Since you don't like it thought that was intentional. Ha either way I agree.

I know the light is a joke. We don't even need to go there.

Does have a 2year warranty though.

Although they also say the bee pollen is a super nutrient, so who knows...

In my defense though, quite similar to what i would have bought at walmart. Doesn't mean its the right stuff lol, but it is probably what i would have ended up with.

Lol. 2 year warranty on a plastic been and jars? Dood I started on a grow kit no shame. You own some of the needed supplies now. In future use what you have but do it yourself. You'll save scrilla and gain knowledge.

never been a huge fan of kits. had a friend that did it once and it went 'okay' but i have no doubt it would've been more productive on a do-it-yourself method. plus it's more fun (although occasionally frustrating) that way :p

random thought though since you may not know, but when you inoculate the jars make sure to drop the spores on the outside edge of the jar as opposed the the center. you can see results faster :grin:
you should only need 1cc max so don't over do it.
